Protein structure

Since it is large you can imagijne that it will have a lot of functions such as, it stores vital energy and nutrients, it manufactures proteins and also manufacvtures enzymes that is necessary for good health, it protects the body from diseases, it also breaks down or metabolizes and it removes harmful toxins, such as alcohol, from the body. Since the liver is the major organ for removeing…

Discussion The glycemic index of the dosa prepared from foxtail millet was low. This is due to the high levels of soluble dietary fiber in the millet. The total dietary fiber was reported to be27.02%, soluble dietary fiber 11.56% and the insoluble dietary fiber 15.44%11. It has been reported that the high viscosity of the soluble fiber delays digestion and absorption18. The glucose levels can be maintained to near normal with the help of dietary modification. It can be inferred from the above…

Soxhlet Fat Analysis Introduction The aim of carrying out the soxhlet practical was to find a percentage for the amount of fat in a small portion of minced meat. Soxhlet extraction is one of the most commonly used methods for determining the amount of fat in food products. The method for the procedure is fairly straight forward and most commonly used for the fat content to be recognised. The soxhlet extractor was invented in 1879, by Franz Van Soxhlet. The experiment was typically designed…

ABSTRACT The reactivity of acid base cements forming hydroxyapatite (HA) such as, β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) and dicalcium phosphate dehydrate (DCPD). Amorphous calcium phosphates, prepared by precipitation from supersaturated solutions, can also react to form apatitic cements since they are thermodynamic unstable with respect to HA and have a setting reaction more independent of particle size. Calcium phosphate cement containing an antibiotic can be used for filling bone defects and to…

The human genome is composed of millions of molecules of DNA perfectly packaged into 23 chromosomes. Each human is the result of a combination of the same four nucleotides, yet every single one is unique. Perhaps, this is due to the slight variation in each human’s DNA, or maybe the explanation lies in a person’s upbringing. The purpose of studying human development is to understand why people change by applying the scientific method to existing theories, which provide the basis for…

Effect of Organic Solvents on Particle Size When anti solvent was 0.4% (w/v) F68 aqueous solution, the effect of various good solvent was investigated. These organic solvents include ethanol, methanol, PEG 400, propylene glycol. The result as mention in Table 16 & Figure 27 showed that the particles prepared by methanol were the smallest (317 nm) among other organic solvents. Ethanol, PEG 400, and propylene glycol produced the particles having the mean particle size of 525nm, 1274nm, 864nm,…

Chemistry EE Concentration of Vitamin C in Kale Word Count: IB Number: 002811-00 Introduction Research question: How do different methods of cooking, namely steaming, baking, and frying, affect the amount of ascorbic acid in Kale? In a daily diet, arguably the most important thing to get a proper amount of is vitamins. Vitamins provide countless services and roles in the human body including helping with your immune system, repairing skin and bone tissues, and converting what you eat into…

OBJECTIVE For the first week of the lab, the objectives were to isolate and test for the presence of major components of milk, including proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals and to determine the presence of the various components of milk in the various fractions using qualitative tests for these substances. For the second week of the lab, the there were three objectives that related to the procedure: to determine the calcium concentration of milk using the technique of…

In this pathway, NBS1 functions as an adaptor protein and promotes the phosphorylation of SMC1, which is required for the intra-S phase checkpoint activation after DNA double strand breaks. This branch of the S-phase checkpoint is distinct to the ATM/Chk2/Cdc25A pathway, but is very important for maintaining…
